HOLDER FOR GENERATOR PULLEYS Filed June 2, 1950 A/E/\ TUE EDGAR F. CONRAD flTTUR/VE/ Patented Dec. 23, 1952 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

This invention relates generally to automotive tools and particularly to a holder for generator pulleys.

The main object of this invention is to provide a simple and efficient form of holder for generator pulleys by means of which the fastening nut may be tightened or released without in any way injuring the pulley or associated parts.

The second object is to make a. holder of the class described which will be adaptable to any ordinary size of pulley.

The third object is to construct the holder from standard shapes such as round rod or tubing and to so hinge the parts that the hinging face is in the plane of holding.

I accomplish these and other objects in the manner set forth in the following specification as illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a generator showing my holder placed on the pulley of the generator.

Fig. 2 is a section taken along the line 22 in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a section taken along the line 3-3 in Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary view showing the flattened end of one of the holder members.

Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the holder set for use on a pulley of small diameter.

Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 5 but showing the parts set for a pulley of larger diameter.

Like numbers of reference refer to the same or similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring in detail to the drawing. there is shown a generator I0 on whose shaft H is mounted a generator pulley I2 which is held in place by the nut [3.

The purpose of the holder is to prevent the pulley l2 from turning when the nut I3 is being rotated for tightening or loosening purposes.

The device itself consists of a pair of elongated handles [4 having rubber hand grips IS on the ends thereof, and having the arcuate portions I6 formed on the oposite ends which terminate in the half round tangent portions I! having the perforations I8 for the cap screw [9 on the end of which is placed a lock nut 20.

The arcuate portions l6 are covered with rubber tubes 2| which engage the V-groove 22 of the pulley l2.

It will be noted that the flat sides of portions I! are in the median plane passing through the members I4.

In the use of this device it is only required that the parts I! intersect at the right point to permit handle and terminating in a tip of half round cross section tangent to said bend and having a series of holes therethrough, the line of said handles intersecting said tips between their ends, said bends having round cross sections and rubber coverings therefor, said handles, bends and tips occupying the same plane. and means for pivotally connecting the perforated tips.
